Take these tips to heart when greeting the King
• Don't put out your hand first, the King won't embarrass you and make you feel uncomfortable
• Don't call him Royal Highness, call him Majesty; Queen Maxima is also spoken to Majesty
• A nod of the head, a sign of respect, but don't overdo it, no big dippers
Make the most of your King's Day with these tips
• The day itself can be quite tough, parties are everywhere and it is especially a lot of walking, because trams are not working for a while
• Arrange on time tickets or always reserve the best seats
• Provide comfortable clothing, a raincoat/poncho and a backpack and, of course, as much orange as possible
• And that backpack may have the best space for your flea market conquests
• Wet baby wipes for all eating mishaps on the go
• Doppers, for your ears and something to drink along the way
• Ear plugs are most welcome as you shuffle past benevolent but common folk singers and Wannabee DJs
• Charged phones! If not, check out the gift ideas below
• Take cash with you, you don't use a debit card at the flea market and also check the gift tip on the right
Give yourself three indispensable items from someone else for a long King's Day
• An all-weather waterproof phone cover so that you can also take the most beautiful crystal clear photos and videos with your mobile phone when it rains
• A full ChargeCard power bank, where else can you charge your mobile phone ultra-fast in the crowds, along the route of your dress? Check out the credit card-sized power banks, ultra-thin lightweights that you put right in your wallet
• A flexible anti-theft bag with a 3-digit combination lock for your money, earphones and painkillers; you can easily attach such a FlexSafe to a pram, for example, and it is also very handy for at home
..(imported) drinks than the local ones, a free banana ride on the local waves, or access to a wellness center. At one resort, the beach bar might be considered "ultra" inclusive, while at another, it might not be.
But beware, ultra and ultra differ from country to country or resort to resort. The boss of "ultra" is the hotel itself. Don't automatically assume that ultra-inclusive is the same worldwide. Read the hotel's website carefully for more information.
(accessories or accoutrements would be nicer, but you know...). So make your own real ultra-all-inclusive vacation by wisely investing in these "things":
With reference to "ultra," I wish you a fantastic vacation and it seems obvious to me to include a portable safe!

The nostalgic symbol of the role of the car in American society in particular, stands for freedom, for new encounters and of course real American classics such as the diner, motels with neon lighting and large billboards. Still, almost 100 years later, the route inspires not only look-a-likes but also adventurers worldwide on motorcycles, in a camper or in classic American vintage cars. Officially, Route 66 no longer exists, it was discontinued in 1985. Due to the arrival of highways, the route fell into disrepair. Fortunately, two years later it has been restored to its former glory under a new name, The Historic Route 66. Parts of the route have been declared a monument and some villages breathe the intimate, cozy atmosphere of yesteryear. The largest ketchup bottle in the world is also still there, in Colinsville, Illinois. The classic Route 66 route passes through eight states and three time zones. The start is in Chicago, Illinois between the skyscrapers and the finish in Santa Monica, California. Or vice versa of course, whatever you want.
Take about two to three weeks for it, for those almost 4000 km. The weather is then perfect, all roads are open, the route is passable during that period. Motorcycle fans opt for Fly&Bike travel, campers opt for an RV road trip and what prevents someone from completing the route in an American classic car? Rent, such a big box!
Plus, score these must-have handy items for those long hours on the go:
• a credit card sized Powerbank for your mobile so you can keep taking those cheesy photos
• to attach to almost any object: the cut and water resistant, portable, flexible anti-theft bag with 3-digit combination lock
• and for the beach in Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean, the 100% waterproof Phone Case; turn your phone into a real underwater camera for crystal clear photos and videos, available in pink, white, blue and black
Not a yard without a ChargeCard! Stay safe with a FlexSafe!
Around St. Valentine, Americans spend billions on candy, cards, chocolate, jewelry, and flowers. Cards remain the most popular for friendship and appreciation. In Great Britain it is all love in the air with candlelight dinners and romantic getaways. And if you live as a man in South Korea or Japan, then you have it done. Women buy chocolate for their partners on Valentine's Day (who in turn give something back with cake and flowers during this day).
On the other hand, there are enough singles or singles who consciously choose Tender, Love and Care on this day. Pamper yourself, self love, self love. And why not?
Celebrate (self) love with these city trips and grab that 14% stack discount (valid until February 14, 2023) on original city trip travel gifts:

• Again, not so many layers that you can hardly go to the toilet
• Don't save on earplugs, the excuse to skip a carnival cracker
• Dosing, dosing, dosing, that beer diet, pass on a beer, if you want to last for several days, a drink without alcohol is also possible and allowed
• Store valuables in handy safe portable travel accessories, check out the handy take-along list

How to take such a charge card with you. And how you can protect the power bank itself. And a good one: can I combine?
Below our ranking tips and then our smart combi tips.
It is almost unthinkable in this day and age. Of course you can always disconnect, you are free to do so. Presumably there are already holidays to book where you can disconnect completely. Then you miss all the benefits. Such as easily looking up the opening hours of your favorite museum or checking whether or not you missed your flight. Devices also remain useful for storing the most beautiful memories, pictures and conversations or to inspire you with the most beautiful stories.
They slurp, suck and gobble up all available energy. And faster than you think. More often than not, those energy guzzlers with 'low battery' don't give at home. And more often than not in the most awkward, sometimes embarrassing moments.
So here are some useful tips. Can you put 'so' at the top of your holiday checklist.
• Keep control of your devices with a separate power bank/charge card;
• And then one that you can put in your wallet, a credit card size, lightweight;
• And one with multiple USB connection points and with cables;
• Don't forget the converter/travel plug; Australia and Switzerland are really different from the United States, 230V/50Hz or 120V/60Hz;
Finally, make your holiday completely carefree and safe at the same time by storing your power bank/charge card in a travel safe that can be protected with a PIN code. The Flexsafe.
Because throw it over a different tack. Consciously go to a number of movie locations along the way and build your holiday around them. The 'bycatch' is bigger than you think. Downton Abbey was recorded in southern England in the North Wessex Downs. An area known as Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can stargaze with a clear sky. And after Downton Abbey there is still plenty of choice left, from The Crown, Peaky Blinders to the costume drama Bridgerton, which was also shot in Bath in County Somerset in addition to London. And Bath is a World Heritage city with stylish late 18th century architecture.
Rain falls in all months of the year. On average, there are 100 days a year when you get more than 1mm of rain in London alone. In the rest of the country you are already moving towards 200 days.
• For filming and series locations in the UK, we recommend a 100% waterproof Phone Case. Protect your phone from water damage. Even if it rains for a while, you can shoot the most beautiful video scenes with yourself in the leading role with your own mobile phone; the Phone Case comes in four colors: pink, blue, black and white and has a waterproof housing for all phones
• Will you run through all the states of America like Forrest? Then consider a power bank, an ultra-powerful portable charger in credit card format for your mobile phone; fits in your wallet and the ChargeCard works through built-in interchangeable charging cables with all phones;
• Do you take a 'my-precious' film location souvenir a la the Lord of the Rings here and there? Protect your collection to the maximum with the portable travel safe FlexSafe; a flexible, portable, personal theft protection bag with a 3-digit combination lock. Cut resistant, and importantly, also water resistant.
Run, run, run! No yard without our ChargeCard. And stay safe with our FlexSafe.
]]>Not so much with a cocktail on the foredeck, rippling in the water and a dolphin here and there. That will work. If you have really discovered sailing, then the adventure has only just begun. An adventure that you also complete yourself. A personal journey of discovery tailored entirely to you. You decide whether you set course for effort or relaxation. You can do both in sailing. Sailing can be quite physical when the wind blows hard. Does it work for you to intensively distance yourself from the daily pressure(s)? Doing! Are you looking for personal development and more of an inner adventure, so no blockages, a starting burnout or stress? It seems that a week of sun holiday can be compared to a day of sailing.
Wind through your hair, lose a few calories along the way and look for that kick that moment when the boat skims over the water. And…. anyone can learn to sail. Even if you've never taken that step? Sure. Then you go with an experienced sailor and later take over the helm, which is also fine, right?
• The most important question: do you have enough free time?
• Yes? Then follow as many courses as possible to find out what boating or sailing is
• And join a water sports club
• And has sailing got you? Rent a boat first, think long(er) about a purchase
• In January in Düsseldorf in Germany, Boot, the water sports fair in Europe, perhaps in the world
• Launched after the summer at Hiswa in Bataviahaven in Lelystad
• Is your wallet slightly deeper and well filled? In September, in the old port, there is the Cannes Yachting Festival
• A waterproof tip to start with: the 100% waterproof floating Phone Case with adjustable neck strap and suitable for all mobile phones; impact resistant with built-in airbag (handy for kids!), ideal with your smartphone under water for crystal clear photos
• Ideal for attaching to any object and water resistant, a portable travel FlexSafe; an anti-theft safe bag for your valuables
• And for easy storage in your waterproof Phone Case: a portable ultra-thin charger, a credit card-sized ChargeCard with interchangeable cables for any phone
Get happy and add a tarp!
It is almost never limited to one gift for one person. And you want to leave a good impression while you actually have no idea what you will make the person in question happy with. In addition, it is very 'in' these days to give someone a gift that suits her or his life phase. If you think further, with those countless annual recurring gift moments, the stress can just escalate. Result: annual stress rallies!
So here are five tips to help deal with gift stress:
• think of gifts that really benefit the recipient, that will actually be used
• ask indirectly, at some point in the year, about gift ideas that someone doesn't allow themselves
• do not choose (much) expensive or cheap gifts; if they are too expensive you will get the feeling that they also have to return an expensive gift and if they are cheap the impression may arise that they are of little value to you, or even more stress!
• stock up on gifts throughout the year, this way you prevent that one gift from being completely sold out at that one moment
• and don't look for gadgets or humor gifts, the laughter is quite short and the trash can close by
• adjust your search terms, do not search for products themselves, but for the size of the product or the environment, for example credit card size or wilderness
• if you are dealing with such an outdoor or wilderness gift recipient, who goes out with a kayak, mountain bike or snowboard, then a power bank is an original gift; do buy a power bank that is ultra-thin, lightweight and can charge ultra-fast and ultra-powerful
• a colorful and creative person receives a gift from you? work with colors, think of a 100% waterproof floating Phone Case in pink or blue; include a small note saying: “this original floating phone case turns your phone into an underwater camera, bring on those crystal clear photos and videos”
• is the receiver known as a slob? Then give him or her a flexible portable anti-theft bag; convenient to lock with a 3-digit combination lock on fixed objects when traveling, but also simply for at home in the cupboard
No stress, prepared on the way to gift success!
A small selection to get you started.
Of course the Efteling. The most famous amusement park in the Netherlands and far beyond undergoes an annual metamorphosis into WinterEfteling. Toverland is also usually open during the magical winter weeks. Holiday and amusement park Slagharen also has a winter edition. Duinrell transforms itself into WinterDuinrell during the colder months with a fun nightglow children's disco. Walibi knows the Bright Nights during the Christmas holidays, thousands of lights that put the attractions in the spotlight. If you cross the border, consider the Wintertraum in Phantasialand in Germany, or Noël Gaulois in Parc Astérix in France.
Some suggestions that you may not immediately think of:
• In addition to the opening hours, especially check the period in the winter when the park is open; not all parks are open all winter;
• If you go abroad, check whether the school holidays run at the same time to avoid unnecessary crowds;
• Check the weather forecast. Cold weather? Provide thermal clothing and warm thick socks; Wet, winter showers? Think of a folding umbrella or a poncho; a waterproof phone case is also a good idea; one of good, premium quality that allows you to continue using your mobile even when it snows or rains;
• A plastic bag for soaking wet clothes works wonders;
• Also bring a portable charger, a power bank or charge card. Your cell phone's battery, and with it your camera, performs worse in cold weather;
• Bring a backpack and a portable travel safe for your valuables. Especially if you go with children, that chance is almost 100%, you will be constantly distracted; You can safely store important items such as your keys, wallet, cards and portable chargers with a 3-digit combination lock;
• And… finally, if there is one, install the amusement park app, very handy!
Alpine skiing is and remains the most famous discipline. It is the oldest and largest winter sports section. The Nordic disciplines are also real old ladies. Snowboarding is relatively a young sport. The same goes for freeriding. Then you go down next to the slopes and outside the ski area. These new young but very popular parts have been created by new materials, new skis and snowboards.
At least to a certain extent. And what has come is the cell phone. With the accompanying camera. Apps to track your achievements. And of course accessibility. It is precisely that combination, cold and mobile phone, that is a tricky thing during winter sports. In cold temperatures, the battery drains quite quickly. Just think of an electric car that you park on top of a mountain and that suddenly turns out to be empty at the end of the day. This with the knowledge that a charger can only be found down in the valley. And then?
It is not the case that the battery of your mobile phone drains faster in cold conditions. Due to the cold, the battery of your phone can simply provide less energy. Protect the phone for a start with a waterproof phone case with a built-in airbag. You retain the full functionality of the phone if you choose the high-quality phone covers. So why not?
Especially if you go freeriding. You can often store an ultra-thin credit card format charge card in a waterproof phone case, just like a mobile phone. Or put the charge card in your wallet. Or keep it in your ski jacket pocket. It is also much more comfortable to take a charge card or power bank with you on winter sports. You have full control over interim charging. Power outlets are hard to find and if you can charge at all, it's very busy and the risk increases that you forget your phone or even worse that your mobile phone is stolen.
For freeriding if you regularly go off-piste. But also think of the Nordic disciplines such as long-distance cross-country skiing. And last but not least if you like skiing, crowds, a drink, carnival, loud music and therefore après-ski.
]]>That suddenly makes packing your suitcase a lot easier and clearer. Memory aids, rhymes, synonyms and mnemonics can be cleverly used for such a lean-and-mean additional holiday checklist.
One with pristine landscapes, far away from mainstream tourists and everyday comforts such as power outlets. You sit on your horse, the typical kjie-kjie-kjie sound of a bald eagle in the distance, step through and tada…. beautiful colored mountain ranges loom. What are you thinking of? Capture, photo, video! With what then? Your mobile, of course. Cell phone and mnemonic, rhyme, metaphor, synonym? After all, you are creating your additional vacation list, what comes to mind? Your mobile camera doesn't give a kick, but still a click? What is the actuality of my electricity? Even after hours and hours in nature without charging stations, does it work or doesn't it? What does a cell phone stand for? Portable, portable! So what's portable? And therefore always handy to carry along for the road?
• Mobile camera does not give a kick, but a click
• Power bank
• Robust document bag or travel safe that can be locked with a pin code
• Eye patches
• Flight support socks can also be used while riding
• Belt buckle for your belt
• Cowboy hat used during carnival
• Multi-purpose dental floss
• Tick remover & disinfectant hand gel
• Completely sustainable degradable rubbish bin
• Mini fridge that can be connected to a power bank
